Tropes

  • Abusive Parents: Tom tries to impregnate his own daughter after his wife can no longer have kids.
  • Interrupted Suicide: Jackie is saved when a bystander notices she's about to step out on the track.
  • Narrative Profanity Filter: In-universe, after Jackie's mom is arrested, a social worker tells Stabler that there are two children in her in-home daycare aren't accounted for in the daycare's records. Stabler asks what Jackie's mother had to say about the situation.
    Social Worker: Nothing I can repeat.
  • Parental Incest: Not directly, but Tom forcibly impregnating his daughter with someone else's sperm is legally rape, even if he didn't have intercourse with her.
